The General Services Administration’s Financial Systems Integration Office has posted draft guidance for migration planning for the financial management line-of-business.
Part of the president’s management’s agenda, the FMLoB is intended to identify discreet financial management systems to consolidate them and carry out job competitions.
The guidance walks agencies through deciding whether to migrate to a shared services provider under the FMLoB, by evaluating costs, benefits, and risks of the various alternatives for supporting financial management systems and operations.
Specifically, the draft guidance provides directions for conducting competitions, and templates for procurement, change-management, implementation, and a menu of shared service providers.
Comments on the guidance are due June 12, and it can be found here: www.fsio.gov.
